aftermarket stereo install questions

[supercopjason]

Ok i have installed many stereos but have always used and amp.

When not using an amp do you hook the power wire to constant and your remote to switched?

[frank_c]

power to switched, clock/memory to constant 12V, remote not used.

[supercopjason]

ok will it be a huge problem running direct from the battery for the constant power? Is there anything that uses constant power under the dash?

[frank_c]

i think i tapped into something on the fuse block. maybe a clock fuse?

if you do run from the battery make sure you put a fuse inline.

[supercopjason]

I have the wire with the inline fuse and everything for the stereo. Just trying to make sure i dont catch anything on fire this time.:eek:

supercopjason, use the ACC terminal in the fuse block for switched and the clock terminal/fuse for constant.

Edited: I misunderstood your 2nd post.
